LONDON (AP) - The feats of athleticism are just about done but London is getting set to bend over backwards one last time to throw a huge Olympics-closing party.

The curtain comes down today on the two-week festival of sports with a thunderous celebration of British music, from the classical compositions of Elgar to the classic rock of The Who.
